It doesn’t matter that it’s a cliché. It doesn’t matter that it’s predictable. It doesn’t matter that the story is a well-worn hat. The only thing that matters is it works, and it works so charmingly well. Despite funding and distribution obstacles, not to mention the…

Baz Luhrmann’s voice is so strong that even his debut, where most people are still finding their footing, screams his name. Bright colors, full of love, full of chaos, full of pain wrapped in a thick layer of fun. I really enjoyed this. It was loud and frantic but…

Classic Australian cinema. I had no idea that the Scott character was Paul Mecurio from Mecurios menu. Crazy to see him dance. I also did not pick up on the fact that the reason the dance was wrong was that the dance board didn’t want to recognise authentic dances from cultures
Patty Campbell lovedStrictly BallroomIt’s the origin story for Baz Luhrman’s fascination with red curtains. Also the only Baz Luhrman movie worth watching.

Metacritic
It practically celebrates convenience of plot, over-the-top acting and follow-the-footprints dialogue, but mostly it is a salute to sequins and sashay. With just a hint of sarcasm.

What's best about the movie is the sense of madness and mania running just beneath its surface.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
The movie is funny, energetic, and enjoyable -- the perfect film for a night or an afternoon out, regardless of what mood you're in. While the plot and characters don't boast any special depth, there's enough freshness to hold just about anyone's interest.
